Zooming through the neighborhoods she was feeling numb. She had to slow down, hitting someone would put a dent in her plans. Craving some intimacy can make a person lose track of reality and their environment. Reaching her apartment she didn't see his car. Actually she never saw him get into a vehicle last night, so much for reference. Anyway that doesn't matter now, there was no sight of her clown so she had a couple minutes to prepare. Parking and running up the stairs she fumbled to get her keys. "Ah ha." Finding them made her proud. A split second she dropped them from her hand unexplainably having tremors. "Shit."

"Want some help sweets?" J was behind her. Harley felt his presence and turned to jump him.

"MISTAH J!" She was so happy to see him she gave him a tight hug. For a considerable height difference, she was quite strong. Joker enjoyed feeling her warmth. He could tell she was the type of girl who craved affection, "Good", he thought.

"How was your first day dear?"

"A little stale but hopefully tomorrow will liven up a bit more." She said with some disappointment but he knew how to change her tune. He gave her a deep kiss on the lips and Harley's past troubles seemed to fade away from the pale man's affection.

"I needed that." She said once the kiss ended. He smirked from her response.

"So did I sweets. I was missing the taste of that cherry lipgloss you wore last night." Harley was pleased that he remembered the flavor. It was always her favorite choice to wear.

"You like cherries Mistah J?" He was curious to where she was going with this.

"Oh yess Harley. In fact I love cherries, especially what you eat them with or how you eat them, hmm hmm." His response made Harley pretend to be offended.

"Ah you're such a dirty clown Mistah J." She playfully pushed him back and he began to giggle.

"Maybe. You'll find out I promise."

"Ouuu will I J?"

"When you go purple you never go back." She snickered from his statement.

"I wonder what that green vial contained?"

"That would definitely sting in the netherlands." Harley was about to bust a gut.

"Netherlands? What about the nether regions?"

"They were annexed after the Battle of Titlis." That comment made Harley chortle.

"Get in my apartment before I laugh like a hyena." The two entered the townhouse apartment and honestly it didn't look bad for a person's first place after their parents house. Nice cedar floors and decent plaster work from the previous owner. The paint job was debatable with too many spring colors working at once. "I know before you ask I didn't want these colors. I personally prefer different hues of red."

"Baby you look perfect in red. That was confirmed already by your work attire."

"Thanks sweetie." Joker was looking around this cozy little abode. "Is everything alright Mistah J?"

"Oh yeah, I was just wanted to see if anybody else was home." She had a little twinkle form in her eye, the doctor wasn't completely innocent.

"Nope. I'm all alone in my abode. Why?"

"I'm a man who prefers not be disturbed. I usually choose to be alone more often than not." That answer confused Harley a little.

"Ugh...I've seen you on tv, you don't exactly portray yourself as an introvert."

"Now that is excellent showmanship and a passion for a good laugh." As he steps closer to Harley his voice became intimidating. "But when the camera's are off and I'm alone in my wide assortment of hideouts across Gotham, I can be very discreet with my personality and somewhat destructive tendencies." She had a realization from his words. He was a man trying to make the world laugh at his antics but even to the world he could only show the surface. To himself he can only show what's behind all the bombs, joker venom, and cyanide pies. Behind was a man struggling to connect to world beyond the means of his laughter. At that moment of silence Harley wanted to give Joker something, assurance.

"Okay Mistah J I understand and appreciate that your sharing this with me, it means a lot." He smiled from her open-mindedness.

"Come here Harleen." The two were entwined into one. Passion was in the atmosphere, so thick you could cut it with a knife. Harley never was close romantically to any man before him. Being a grad student deviated her free time from writing papers and performing research studies with professors to gain experience and work-study to pay off some college loans. Not really having a lot of experience in relationships however was a little embarrassing in the back of her head. Now it doesn't really matter, she has someone who seems to want nothing but her and frankly in such a lonely world she didn't want to let go of this new found happiness. (Personally none of us do).

Tasting him was such a delight. His lips tasted like bourbon, so smooth and soft as well. Boy he is such a great kisser, his motions confirmed her ideas of him being a persuasive individual, and it worked for her. Each second their mouths were locked together they were closer to ripping each others clothes off. The desire was there, the passion was growing, the want was begging.

Joker felt like tearing that dress off her sexy little body. The sensuality was overloading the senses. This girl was truly different to him than he thought. "Do you still want to go out love?"

"No. I just want to be here with you sweetie." Being with him was slowly becoming an addiction and frankly he was starting to have mutual desire.

"Great, I'll call one of my associates to pick up some italian…"

"Ouu and some wine, I haven't found the time and the money lately to get some nice aged pinot noir."

"Don't worry pumpkin, only the best for us tonight, I want to remember our first dinner for years to come." Harley was so excited to have a dinner date with her handsome fellow. Not to mention he said years, YEARS! "EEEK I can't wake." She held onto him tighter and he repaid the affection. Joker had another idea in play to make tonight even better but he had to get Harley out of the apartment for a little bit.

"Hey beautiful, mind if we go out for a bit?"

"Oh, okay Mistah J. What about dinner sweetie?" He cupped her face and cooed at her.

"Don't worry honey, we'll be back for dinner. A part of the dinner is a surprise actually so we have time to spare. You trust me pooh, don't you?" Harley was worried that he was beginning to have feelings of doubt in her so she proved to him that he can trust his Harley, always no matter what. Firmly she pressed her lips to his to block anymore thoughts from entering his mind. She traced her hand across his chest. "Don't you work out handsome.", she thought in her mind. Some thoughts of her own were beginning to cloud her mind but she wanted him to know that she is always trustworthy to her Mistah J. After stopping the kiss she whispered in his ear, "Of course, there's no else I would trust more than you sweetie."

"A girl after my heart, life can be so fulfilling. C'mon sweets let's have an adventure." He led her out the door and he made a quick call before catching up to her. "Hey get Tony on the line." The henchman on the other line redirected J to discuss afternoon plans with his little girl.

"Good afternoon Mr. Joker what pleasure do I owe on this occasion ." He said while he was eating.

"I need a favor." When Tony heard that he choked briefly. A couple seconds of silence passed and this didn't help but test his patience.

"I'm sorry, my hearing can sometimes be selective but did I just heard…"

"Yes and I don't wish to reiterate."

"Okay fine but you do realize that I'm booked for today."

"Yes and I'll pay double what your client paid, consider it a token for the abrupt inconvenience I've given you."

"That will make us square for sure," Tony said with slight sarcasm. "What's the address J?"

"1992 East Sorkin Street." He heard Tony write down the address down.

"Great J I'll be down with the supplies shortly and everything will be ready in a couple hours."

"Thanks again Tony. I'll later check your progress later as the day becomes dim." He ends the phone call and turns to see an impatient Harley sticking her head out the window.

"Mistah J get in here, your Harley needs you." He found it funny how she just began yelling out the window. J ran into the car quickly to make sure he wasn't seen out in public. God just imagine what could be the outcome of further exposure. As the escort drifted through Gotham Square we see the two giggling from just the beginning of a lovely afternoon. "So where are we heading sweetie?"

"A secret spot I go when I require solace. I think you'll find it soothing." Harley was even more curious about where they were going.

Twenty minutes driving out to the outskirts of the city limits Harley notices that they were parked at the top of a secluded highrise terra that faced the Gotham skyscrapers perfectly from a far. Jay opened the door and helped her out of the car. J peaked to his driver, "Just wait in the car David, consider this a break." David calmly nodded, "Yes, thank you sir." The couple walked out to face the open scenery. Holding hands to the edge was a decent start. Harley was so happy to be alone with her clown, especially at such a beautiful location. Joker was growing more fond of her presence, "Honey."

"Yes, Mistah J."

"How's the view?" Looking at the city he showed comfort in their seclusion.

"Actually I have a better view from here." J noticed Harley was looking at him and he blushed. "Ou honey you're blushing, I didn't know the Clown Prince of Crime blushed from compliments."

"Only from you pumpkin." He pulled her into his grip. Their passion was growing as they nearly desired to devour each other. He planted a full long-lasting kiss on her lips and drew back, there were some pink appearing in her cheeks. "Oh sweets you're blushing, hehe." It was hard for Harley to not chuckle madly from his humor.

"Only from you Mistah J." They sat down on the grass and stared at the scenery. J reached for her hand, Harley was more than happy to oblige. She was quite surprised to see how a man with such a hunger for disorder and chaos would have a craving for serenity and momentary silence. There was more to her clown than what the white skin would reveal. So far for a first date she could honestly say that this was a success. A further question was what was going on her puddin's mind. He seemed lost in the view of the towers. "Sweetie." There was no response. He was practically still and she grew worried. Shrugging his shoulder still there was no effect. She decided to scream in his ear, "MISTAH J!" He jumped to the abrupt sound of the slightly angry dame.

"What what what is it?" Joker was practically dumbstruck by what just occurred. "God Harley you nearly gave me a heart attack."

"You were stuck like a statue and I wanted to make sure you weren't I don't know DEAD."

"Jeez well I'm certainly pumping blood now."

"What happened Mistah J?"

"I was in a trans thinking and looking back to my past."

"Laughs and giggles, but something more deeper perhaps." He grinned.

"Your good. I remember when I was little my family would take us to this same spot when they decided to go out before heading to the countryside for vacations. Times have definitely changed but the memories have had a better chance of sticking lately." Harley didn't know, hell no knew about this. The Joker had recollections of his past? Previous records have shown no indication of any past relations with anyone. "Maybe it's because I'm finding myself in a state of calm and enjoyment when I'm with you."

"Good." The two stared at each other. It was as if they were destined to meet in this life. Neither ever thought that this was how their Monday would be spent. Harley licked her lips in anticipation. Her azure eyes were locked to his emerald ones, they had her in a trans in an instant. Leaning in both were ready to taste the other's tongue again. Closer, closer, closer. As they were about to lock in each other's mouth…

"BZZZZ, BZZZZ." Harley's phone went off and boy she was a little peeved. The moment of succulent bliss was upon them and then interrupted, "enough" she thought. Let's see who it is.

"Damn it. Will you excuse me J?" She was feeling a little sad that her phone stopped the moment.

"Of course dear." He was a little disappointed by the interruption but patience is a virtue he must learn, especially when it comes to being in a relationship.

"Thank you sweetie, this will be quick I promise." She got up and answered it. "Hello?" Her tone has a slight hint of spite to the unknown recipient.

"Dr. Quinzel?"

"Who's this?"

"Wayne, Bruce Wayne." The first thought that crossed her mind was how the hell did he get her number. Probably greased his palms to get some info on her for the not so great first impressions.

"What can I help you with Mr. Wayne?"

"I just wanted to apologize for what occurred earlier today. I didn't mean to offend you in any way. Sometimes I don't know my manners, I hope you can accept my apology." Harley was impressed by him taking the were probably gonna see each other eventually, it would be rare but there was no need for any future awkwardness down the road. And honestly she didn't want to keep her puddin waiting any longer, he is such a good boyfriend to her and she loves that dearly about him.

"Thank you very much Mr. Wayne, I will accept your apology. Now if you excuse me I'm on a very important date right now. Goodbye." And with that the phone was off and she happily skipped right back to her clown. "Mistah J." She says while jumping into her arms. "Miss me?" Not being able to stop from puckering her lips at him. The Joker quickly gave his Harley a full kiss on the lips.

"Harley, baby, sweetie, pumpkin pie, you know I do. Now where were we?" The two made out behind the bushes with such ferocity. He enjoyed a girl who liked it rough, it suits better for later…

Some time flied as the two sucked face, not being able to keep their hands off each other. Luckily no one was around, how awkward would it be to see a woman make out with a deranged psycho killer covered in white. Reaching up his arm sleeve she noticed that the color surpassed his forearm. In fact he wasn't covered in some white material, his pigment was actually white as snow. It drawed more notice from Harley on how his transformation occurred.

"Sweets are you distracted?" He didn't mind the curiosity behind his looks, hell the previous doctors had asked what event occurred that made him look the way he did. All he replied with was that he wanted to look like a ghost for Halloween. Only one other person that knew the truth besides him was probably scouting out plans for preventing criminal endeavours for tonight.

The way she look memorized by his appearance gave him an ego boost, flattery for his soul. Don't get him wrong he felt inferior to the true beauty of his little Harlequin. It's funny what life will give ya isn't it. "Sorry sweetie, I couldn't help if I was looking at you like a piece of meat?"

"Ya wanna know how I taste?" He teased her with a playful whistle at her left earlobe. She shivered with pleasure and he knew she wanted more. "Yes."

"Hmm Hmm."

"What?"

"I'm so glad I saved you sweets."

"Me too Mistah J, me too." She wondered where she would be right now if he wasn't in her life, probably sitting on her couch and watching old sitcoms that aired before she was even born. This was definitely gonna go down as a well played Monday.

The two laid on the grass embracing each other without a care in the world. They stared into their other's irises. Her warm smile settled well with his charming wicked one. In the back of the Joker's head he needed to check on how dinner was going but he was kinda between a rock and a hard place, she really did have a strong grip. That will come in handy for future endeavours.

"Soooooooo." She said in a playful tone. "What's the next place you want to take me?" He grinned as a response.

"My home."

"Really, what about dinner?"

"Don't worry, we'll be on time for dinner. I think you'll enjoy the view pumpkin."

"Where is your home?"

"You'll have to see for yourself." He picked his Harley up swiftly and ran towards his car. Harley was surprised by his level of vitality. "Hold up Mistah J." Joker immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Is there something wrong sweets?"

"No sweetie everything is lovely. I just want something to remember this moment by." Instinctively J came up with an idea to satisfy her wishes. "Wait here beautiful." He quickly went to the tree behind their bush and carved something sweet that he knew his Harley would enjoy. After that he called Tony before heading back to his girl.

"Yello."

"Hey Tony how are you with setting up the dinner?"

"I'm sorry man I still an hour. There was a previous mixup with the meat and…"

"It's whatever Tony, look I just want have a lovely dinner with my special lady and if it's gonna take a little extra time so be it. It's being with her that will make the dinner worth it in the end." On the other end he heard some sniffling. "Tony are you crying?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. That was just so very kind of you Joker. I had no idea that you were so involved in this woman. I'm looking forward to meeting her."

"She's wonderful."

"I'm so happy for you Jay."

"Thanks Tony, we'll be by in an hour. Oh and give Michael my regards." With his phone turned off he got back to what he wanted most, her.

"So Mistah J, what did you do."

"You'll have to come back to see it sweets. It's something that we can both remember this day by. I'm sure you will appreciate it."

"I know I will, thank you so much for the this. I feel so lucky to have such a sweet, caring, loving, and though clown in my life to take me on such thoughtful dates." He kissed him.

"My pleasure pumpkin. The day isn't over yet. David start the engine and take us home."

"Yes sir."

As the car went back into town the two made themselves well acquainted with the leather seat in the back, luckily there was a divider in the car with black tinted windows. We wouldn't want anyone to see now would we :)
